Reviews From Guests

Carole made me feel very welcome and was clear about house rules and expectations. The room was as expected from the listing. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and it was conveniently located for getting around town to see things.

It was my second time to stay at this BNB. Carole was a wonderful host as previous and made perfect preparation for my stay. Cambridge was a little bit hot and humid but I had comfortable breeze in my room so that I did not need to use air conditioner.
Her cute dog was quite friendly as well and she welcomed me. I had , unfortunately, a little cough due to a strongly air conditioned flight so I believe I could not play with her than before . But she often visited my room to make me feel happy.
I would also like to mention about the home-made banana cake by Carole. It was very important part of my breakfast. I am going to report about this great cake a little bit more in detail on my next stay!

This is my first airbnb experience and Carole certainly made me feel like home. The place is exactly as described and Carole went the extra miles helping me to get the delivery for my online shopping.
Highly recommended

This is a great home for a visit to Cambridge/Boston. Carole is so warm and hospitable. She provides coffee, breakfast items, snacks in the room, and anything else you need or ask for! Dixie is also the sweetest little dog.
The location was perfect-very close to the Charles River waterfront for peaceful morning walks, the Red Line only a short walk away, and a nice, safe neighborhood.
I would stay here any time I come to Boston!

Thanks Cristen...for the feedback...I did not realize that the towels had an issue as I dry them very well in the dryer....and put them up there....saw you used 3 towels and wondered about that! so now I know....I did take off a couple of the old ones and will re wash them...but never had that issue before? so wondered how that happened.....
How was the trip back?

Carole has provided the best bnb experience I have had to-date.
She has thought about how to make her guests welcome and comfortable from arranging our arrival, providing amenities. in-room TV, welcome snacks, self serve light breakfast, and more.
She is a terrific host !

Carole was a wonderful host. The room was super cozy and comfortable, and she was super welcoming. Upon arrival, she showed me the kitchen, and all the things I could use/eat. She also had things posted in the room such as local restaurants, cab numbers, etc. She even let me in when I left my key in the room. I would definitely stay with here again. Finally, it was a great location close to MIT.

I know Carole in two ways:
As a civic leader, she works hard to make Cambridge a better place through various community organizations.
I also know Carole as a fellow Airbnb host.
We have shared many conversations and insights about best practices: how to provide the kind of quality experiences that people seek when staying with a local person.
Carole is very plugged in on East Cambridge politics and knows virtually everything going on in and around Kendell Square.
Her Airbnb guests return again and again, so clearly she's got something of great value going on. As an Airbnb host myself, I have a reputation to uphold, so its worth mentioning that I often recommend Carole's place to guests seeking a Kendall location and reliable, clean, quality accommodations.
I have visited Carole's home many times and she never fails to make me feel welcome.

Carole is a good friend, and I would highly recommend her to any potential renter. Having been at her home many times, I know she is well located in a nice residential community with a pleasant park nearby. She is also a short walk to many great restaurants and shops.

I'm a little bias cuz Carole's my mom, but she is probably one of the most welcoming and motherly hosts you'll probably ever have! She has lived in Cambridge for 30+ years so she knows where all the great restaurants are and what places you should check out while you're visiting. She's also extremely knowledgeable about a variety of topics and will be happy to have a conversation about anything under the sun with you. If you're considering a handful of places to stay in the Cambridge area, you should really book with my mom...she's a blast to spend time with, no matter if you're 21 or 75! Happy Airbnb-ing!

I highly recommend Carole. She is very friendly and welcoming. Before my arrival she recommended the best way to get to the house and waited for me to come. She knows a ton about Cambridge and is a very good storyteller. She was always attentive to my requests and even introduced me to one of her friends. The room was lovely, clean and she even put flowers on the desk. She was also very kind to drive me to the airport on departure. Thanks Carole!

Carole has a great room in a very convenient location. Bright and airy location within walking distance to MIT, Harvard and Museum of Science. Great for the independent guest. Carole is also a great host who is knowledgabe about the neighborhood and extremely helpful.
